Gov. Tom Corbett dropped as defendant in gay marriage suit

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Lawyers on both sides of a court challenge of Pennsylvania's gay-marriage ban have agreed to dismiss Republican Gov. Tom Corbett and Democratic state Attorney General Kathleen Kane as defendants.

Papers filed Friday in U.S. District Court say state Revenue Secretary Dan Meuser will be added as a defendant. State Health Secretary Michael Wolf and the Bucks County register of wills were named in the lawsuit and remain defendants.
